KPMG International Case Competition (KICC) 2015

What is it? This event will challenge and inspire you, testing your team’s ability to analyze and respond to realistic business scenarios. During each stage of the competition, your team will be given a detailed case study to consider – and the rest is up to you. For each round, your team will: · Review the dossier you've been given · Identify and analyze key business issues · Develop a compelling set of recommendations · Prepare an engaging presentation for the judges. When you emerge from your team headquarters, you will present your ideas to a panel of experienced KPMG firms’ partners and leaders. The judges will listen to your presentation and ask challenging questions, playing the role of the client. You will be held to the same standards of excellence that we expect from KPMG professionals. And if you have the innovative and agile thinking our judges are looking for, you’ll advance through the next rounds of competition.
